Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.1 s · 1,003 KiBAbout 1,003 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
927 KiB12 images could be 927 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
520 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 520 ms faster on a phone.
ZenDesk adds 337 ms
337 msZenDesk costs a phone 337 ms of main-thread work and 477 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Klaviyo adds 263 ms
263 msKlaviyo costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 624 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Google Tag Manager adds 255 ms
255 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 322 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 276 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 220 ms
220 msShopify costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 397 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
1,519 HTML elements
The page has 1,519 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
automizely.com adds 77 ms
77 msautomizely.com costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 294 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 109 KiB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (109 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 58 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
49 KiB49 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
17 KiB17 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.4 MB in 425 requests
5.4 MBYour homepage downloads 5.4 MB in 425 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (162), images 1.3 MB (28) and other files 968 KiB (180). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images far larger than shown
509 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Safety-Product-Photoshoot-Jool-Baby-September-2026-Rachelle- at 2,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 509 KiB.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
JB_STORM_J26-38.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (74 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.54 g of CO₂e: 184.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
33 text elements with low contrast
33 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
13 links without text
13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
136 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 136 pages on joolbaby.com and 14 external pages.
7 checks passed

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://joolbaby.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://joolbaby.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
3 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (774 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://joolbaby.com/collections/best-sellers-1 has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://joolbaby.com/collections/potty and https://joolbaby.com/collections have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 30 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

29 cookies set on arrival
29Opening the homepage sets 29 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
56 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 56 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at joolbaby.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
